Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

Wang Tao directly took out a Bone Hand Crossbow, his eyes glinting with a faint green light as he looked out the window, then he shot an arrow toward a certain spot.

Whiz—

Splat!

Thud!

After dealing with that Ordinary zombie, Wang Tao turned to He Jijun in the corner and said,

“You don’t need to be so tense, grandfather. Little Jun and the others are very responsible on their shift. Any zombie daring to come over will definitely be killed by them.”

Because it was too dark, He Jijun couldn’t see Wang Tao’s actions; he could only see a pair of eyes emitting green light and another pair emitting red light.

However, more than those glowing eyes, He Jijun was more interested in the way Wang Tao had just killed the zombie.

“What was that thing you used just now? Crossbows and bows?”

Hmm?

Wang Tao suddenly came to his senses. It was very dark now, there was no lightning, and there was the rustling sound of rain outside; how did He Jijun notice the zombie?

“Just a hand crossbow, let me show you.”

Wang Tao directly tossed the Bone Hand Crossbow over to him, and even in the pitch-black environment, He Jijun caught the hand crossbow accurately.

“Nice piece!”

He Jijun lightly caressed the Bone Hand Crossbow in his hand, subconsciously exclaiming in admiration.

He felt it was more useful than his gun. He only dared to use his gun in the heavy rain; usually, he dealt with zombies with close combat or traps…

“If grandfather likes it, then I’ll give it to you.”

Wang Tao tossed a pack of crossbow arrows over to him.

He Jijun caught it steadily, then looked somewhat surprised.

“Give it to me? Don’t you need it yourself?”

“I have more, I won’t miss this one,” Wang Tao said with a smile.

“Then I won’t be polite!”

For He Jijun, this was a life-saving treasure. If given to him, he would take it.

“Thank you!”

He expressed his gratitude.

“Don’t mention it. By the way, grandfather, how did you figure out I was using a hand crossbow just now? And how did you spot the zombie?”

Wang Tao asked curiously.

“I just heard the sound of the bowstring vibrating. As for how I discovered the zombie… I heard its footsteps—I’ve heard too many zombies’ footsteps, I’m very familiar with them.”

“…”

Really just by hearing?

Wang Tao was somewhat surprised; he thought He Jijun had some sort of sixth sense. If it was really by hearing, that was impressive!

This wasn’t just about having good hearing but about his ability to discern the footsteps of a zombie amidst the sound of pouring rain, a matter of discernment.

Seeing Wang Tao’s astonishment, He Jijun grinned and said,

“Back in the days of raging war, I could hear the enemy tiptoeing towards us despite their attempts to suppress their footsteps. Not to mention these zombies with little intelligence!”

He Jijun spoke very proudly, and he had the capital to be proud.

“Awesome!”

Wang Tao didn’t know how many times he had said ‘awesome,’ but only that word could express his feelings at the moment.

The rest of the night passed without incident, and Wang Tao slept until the next morning.

He Jijun was already up, picking up crossbow arrows outside.

Only then did Wang Tao notice that there were more than ten Ordinary zombies lying outside, their bodies and the ground nearby littered with numerous crossbow arrows.

Wang Tao looked towards Xu Xiaojun, who had been on duty for the latter part of the night.

Xu Xiaojun scratched his head and said,

“Those were all of Old He’s achievements last night; any zombies that came near our house were killed by him. I told him there was no need to kill, they couldn’t get in, but he said he just wanted to try the hand crossbow…”

“…”

He Jijun could actually kill zombies with a hand crossbow in such darkness? Although there were many missed arrows, many were also lodged in the zombies’ skulls…

Why was Wang Tao suddenly feeling an inexplicable sense of security?

“Grandfather, let’s get going after breakfast.”

To hit the road quickly, Wang Tao had nutrient solution for breakfast.

“What is this?”

He Jijun was quite curious.

Wang Tao explained the nutrient solution, and He Jijun looked amazed.

“You have such wonderful things?”

He Jijun didn’t hesitate, gulping down two bottles in one go.

“I actually feel quite full…”

He Jijun marveled with amazement; this thing was a treasure in the apocalypse!

After thinking it over, he took a large pancake out of his bag and handed it to Wang Tao.

“I can’t always just take from you without giving anything in return. This is a pancake I made; want to try it?”

“Sure.”

Wang Tao said with a smile, took it, and tore off a piece for Zhang Hong and the others to taste. Aside from being a bit dry and choking, the taste was unexpectedly not bad.

Seeing the expressions on Wang Tao and the others, He Jijun opened his mouth with some pride,

“I used to work in the cook squad!”

“Cool!”

Wang Tao gave a thumbs-up. He had heard that the cook squad was filled with hidden talents; this old man was no simple character!

After packing up, everyone got into the car.

He Jijun suddenly said to Wang Tao,

“I know a shortcut to the military base; if you trust me, we can take it.”

“Sure, let’s take the shortcut then!”

Wang Tao had Zhang Hong and Xu Xiaojun follow the route provided by He Jijun.

The route He Jijun provided went through a woodland area; if no monsters appeared, it was certainly safer than going through the city or city outskirts.

The road was a bit difficult, muddy everywhere. Thankfully, both vehicles were off-roaders; aside from slower speed, there were no major issues.

“Stop the car, there’s a group of zombies ahead.”

Wang Tao suddenly called for a halt.

He Jijun took out his binoculars to take a look and indeed saw a group of zombies in the forest.
